To: Grizzled Bear

Grizzled Bear, Thank you. If a non Catholic wants to argue that they do not believe in the Sacrifice of the Mass or other Catholic doctrines that is a legitmate argument. If a non Catholic wants to challenge the fact that Catholics believe in Purgatory that is a valid point. If a non Catholic takes issue with our belief in infused justification they can argue their point fairly and coherently. (I know I’ve seen it done before).

All of the above are Catholic doctrines which Reformed denominations disagree with and which they can support with appeal to Scripture and the reasoning of their founders. What is often forgotten that the Catholic Church appealing to Scripture and to Apostolic Tradition have reached different conclusions.

But to resort to libelous statements to support an argument is the refuge of scoundrels. You do not engage in that practice and I appreciate it.

Truth is Truth. To seek Jesus is to seek Truth.

There were plenty of priests who rescued persecuted Jews; there were also some who collaborated with the NAZIs, as well. The same can be said for Protestants (note, I didn't say "Proddys"). There were even Jews who collaborated with the NAZIs (George Soros, anyone?).

Oddly enough, nobody seems to talk about Islamic collaboration and the two Islamic Divisions in Germany's Army.

While Catholic and Protestant involvement seemed primarily involved with individuals, Islamic involvement was definitely systematic.
